What "mconsole client"(s) are available? Running the rc script is no
problem. Can I receive the event via perl?

That was bogus anyway.
There is a /proc/mconsole which will turn anything written to it into an
mconsole notification. Have an rc script which runs at the right stage of
the boot write a message to /proc/mconsole and have an mconsole client on
the host wait for it, and do whatever needs doing.
